Round 1: Quotes

About

The world is full of beautiful words. The tongue has no bones but is strong enough to break a heart. Words start wars and end them, create love and choke it, bring us to laughter and joy and tears. There is no falsehood in words, only in things.

Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. If you have a google spreadsheet of Metric/Marina/Mitski/Macklemore lyrics, now's your time to shine. What does Nobel Laureate Louise Glück have in common with the Future of Kpop Lee Chan? I don't know, but we can find out.


Examples


Junhui + The Archer
"Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold onto you"
Taylor Swift - The Archer

Verhao; "I loved him from the moment he walked in"
Just thinking about all the verhao soft feelings from the last week of November, especially the killer tweet from @literarykpop with the quote:
"I laughed and said, ‘Life is easy.’ What I meant was, ‘Life is easy with you here, and when you leave, it will be hard again." - Miranda July

95 line - R18
"Houston, we have a problem."

Prompt:
“The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others.”
— Alain de Botton, On Love

when you dismiss an actor in a3, they have specific voice lines that are especially heart wrenching...i thought they could fit post disbandment fics quite well so i chose a couple that were specifically painful
Before I knew it, this had become my place to belong. I never thought I'd feel that way again....
I've got tons of friends, so I'll be totally fine! I won't be lonely at all.
I'm, running away again...! Even though I promised that I wouldn't run away anymore, there's no way I can measure up against him again!
I'm all alone again, am I? That's what all bonds with others amount to in the end.

so what do i do with this?

Somehow everything comes with an expiry date. Swordfish expires. Meat sauce expires. Even cling-film expires. Somehow I'm curious about that... Is there anything in the world which doesn't?

Prompt:

soulmates who are not only bound by fate but by choice. reincarnation, multiple universes, none of the above, etc etc go crazy

Even if a second life
That’s different from now comes to me
The one thing I can say is
That I’m going to be by your side

- Seventeen, Second Life

Here when I say "I never want to be without you,"
somewhere else I am saying
"I never want to be without you again." And when I touch you
in each of the places we meet

in all of the lives we are, it's with hands that are dying
and resurrected.
When I don't touch you it's a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever.

- Bob Hicok, Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem

- self-referential quote of an undergraduate student, used as a chapter introduction in an engineering textbook I used last spring.

not trying to be too restrictive regarding the setup of the story, but somehow retain the concept of love for someone being evident in the way you think of them in other parts of your life, and the realization that comes with that fact

Prompt:
Beauty makes me hopeless. I don't care why anymore I just want to get away. When I look at the city of Paris I long to wrap my legs around it. When I watch you dancing there is a heartless immensity like a sailor in a dead-calm sea. Desires as round as peaches bloom in me all night, I no longer gather what falls.
"On Hedonism," Anne Carson
